Hi Stephen,

yes, more or less. These error messages just floods the screen when
using debugfs entries. Even more ENOTSUPP is legal error for generic
pinconf.

Maybe I had to split on few patches. The change in .pin_config_group_get
is related to debugfs dump. The change which adds input-enable support
is in .pin_config_group_set.

Why you do not care, because you think that tlmm doesn't support it or
because it is a driver responsibility to set up gpio function plus
input/output configuration?

I can imagine usecase where the driver implements an 'idle' pinctrl
state which configure its pins to be gpio input enabled to save power
assuming that the previous 'default' pinctrl state it was gpio output.
In that case the driver doesn't need to call gpio_direction_input() for
every gpio, only call pinctrl_select_state('idle').

What's wrong with this?

yes, it should be different fix, I will split this on separate patch.
